An 8 Day Hike through Switzerland’s Heart of the Alps

Upon your arrival in Switzerland, you begin your trip at the 3000 ft Engelberg resort right in the heart of the Swiss Alps. This was founded as a Benedictine Monastery in 1120 with Monks today continuing to meet parish and educational needs of the citizenry.

You are surrounded by 10,000 ft Alpine peaks, green pastures and fresh air.

Activity Level
ECHO Trails tours are designed for people who are energetic, active, and filled with a spirit of adventure.

We rate this tour as easy to moderate. Plan on walking 2 miles per hour easily with a duration of 3 to 4 hours per day. We’ll make hourly stops for taking pictures and breaks.

Hiking will be at an elevation range of 3,000 ft. to 7,000 ft, mostly level “mountain trails”.

One day we will take the Jungfrau cog wheel train up to the Jungfraujoch to an elevation of 11,340 ft.
And no, you can’t make your spouse/partner run alongside.
